Hope that title will be useful for others to search on in the future.

Anyway, there a bug in Sys::Syslog as it comes with 5.6.0 that was not in earlier versions of Perl. Net::FTPServer requires that Sys::Syslog work correctly.

Because I don't have root privs, but perl -V showed that my local home directory was first on the @INC path, I figured I could simply create a directory called Sys and put Syslog.pm there (I know how to put it there --- I have done this before). But nonetheless, it keep useing the one from the distribution directory first.

Am I mistaken about the <codeperl -V</code> output? Is there some reason that it would take the one from a system directory in an order other than what is specified in @INC?
